" The speaker, Mrs. Redpath, of Oshawa, President of The Bay of Qginte The Canadian Statesmnan, Bowmanviile, May 3, 1978 5 EÎduudcaýtiu-on wvithTerry Hawkins Ask any parent and they will quickly tell you that it costs a great amount to money to raise a family. They may flot be able to tell you how much it, costs but they know that it's plenty. There are, of course, ways of calculating the cost of raising a child. One figure that has been arrived at is $61,568 dollars to raise a child to eighteen. This includes ail the varlousexpenses incurred but does not include indirect costs like the cost of schoollng or lost wages, if mother has stayed home to raise the child instead of working. If one includes educational costs spent on behaif of the child, this amounts to 24,300 dollars to the end of secondary school. Add another 82,000 dollars for wages lost to the non working mother. Total cost of raising and educating a child to age eighteen with a secondary school education is in the area Conference, 'was then introduced. She gave us an interesting account of what her duties consist of and the various worthwhile funds which are supported by our organizations, urging us to choose Projects, named in the Project Book. Appreciation was expressed to her and ater the Benediction, lunch was served, by the, unit, to 'the sixteen members and one visitor present. Volunteers are needed to assist Mrs. Dora DeSmit, in a spring dlean-up at our church, Wednesday, May 3 at 9:30 a.m. and another day, later. of 168,000 dollars. Add another 12,000 dollars personal money and 12,000 dollars* tax money for a total of 24,000 dollars expense for a four year university education and the total cost approaches 200,000 dollars. This means that directly and indirectly a staggeringly large amount of money is spent in raising your children to adulthood and preparing them to enter the employment market. And this is only the fînancial side of the picture. There is really no way to calculate the enormous number of hours that parents are involved in being with their children,.thethought and effort spent on their behaif and the concern and love that is cons tantly present. In short, a huge amount of money, time, effort and love goes into raising a chiid to adulthood. If any young person ever thought about it fromn that point of view alone they would see why parents are so concerned and, interested in their welfare. After ail that effort no parent can stand by idly and watch their son or daughter drop out of school. No, parent can hide their dismay when their son or daughter does not make use of the opportunities available to them. It's because of this huge involvement that parents want to know what their kids are doing. That question mom or dad asks, "what did you do at school today? " is based on real interest. The standard student repiy of "nothîng" isn't much help. Lt is very hard for young people to appreciate the intense degree of interest and concern that parents have about them. We shouldn't hold that against them however; because we reacted the same way when we were their age. But if a young person ever doubts that parents are interested in their children he or she should have the opportunity to watch how very proud parents are when graduation or a similar event takes place. __ WELCOMES ALL CUSTOMERS LADIES' - MEN'S> TAILORING and ALTERATIONS CUSTOM-MADE CLOTHES ercn f f for Sr. C itiz ens -25 YEARS EXPERIENCE - Enter Mother Mod's Fabrics 34B King St. W. - Bowmanville SATURDAY, May -13o 4 p.m. - 10 p.em.
